Chapter 873 Dare to insult my teacher
"Da da da ~~~"

On a trail leading from Luoyang to Zhongmou, the horse galloped at high speed. Under the whipping of its master, the horse simply burst out at full speed, driving fast on this trail, rolling up billows of dust, there were two strange The knights were madly rushing towards Zhongmu. They said it was weird because of their age, and one of them was an elderly man.

He was riding a big red-maned horse, holding the rein tightly with both hands, and lowered his body. The horse was galloping, and the strong wind was blowing head-on. He could only squint his eyes to prevent the wind and sand from entering his eyes. His body collided with the saddle, making a crisp sound, and beside him was a young child.

The child seems to be in his early ten years old, he is a fat boy, with a tiger head and a tiger head, and the horse he is riding is also a colt, which has not grown, but the colt looks like blood, the whole body is red, the bones are tall, and the expression is beautiful. Fei Yang looked like a top-notch BMW at first glance. The colt was young, but it drove at full strength, and it was able to catch up with the old man's big adult horse without losing the wind.

These two people are naturally Cui Yan and Xiao Hu'er. Cui Yan's current thinking is to dispel Hu'er's desire for military affairs and let him understand how hard it is to fight a war. He will conquer other countries in the future. , Cui Yan won't take care of it, but if you want to lead the troops yourself, forget it, running across the two places so quickly, even adults may not be able to bear it, just you, a naughty boy, ha ha.

Cui Yan thought to himself, turning his head from time to time to look at Hu'er beside him, for fear that he would fall behind. However, Hu'er seemed to be unable to open his eyes, but he still had no intention of giving up, so he held on tightly. Following Cui Yan's example, the reins also lowered their heads, and the two of them ran wildly together for more than half an hour.

It is the "merchants" and "rangers" behind them who are suffering. Those merchants and rangers also take great pains to keep up with the two of them. Running wildly, there was no way to follow after all. Most of the people who followed the two of them now were merchants on horseback or in cars.

Without passing through a booth, you can see a few "farmers" appearing here, looking at the two of them from a distance, and taking care of the safety on this section of the road.

Looking at these passers-by who come and go, Cui Yan can only feel that the emperor loves the eldest son of the emperor too much. In addition, it is this kid Yuan Shang who is fighting to turn the embroidered messenger into a pervasive and ubiquitous behemoth. In fact, this is not a good thing for the officials in the temple. The power of the Embroidered Cloth Messenger has grown stronger and stronger, faintly replacing the eunuchs of the past, and becoming the new opponent of many scholars.

However, unlike those weak eunuchs in the past, this time, what the scholars faced was an opponent they could not defeat at all. They can't do it, they know that as long as they have the idea of ​​impeaching and embroidering the emperor, their memorial table will probably appear in front of Yuan Shang before it is handed over to the emperor.

After driving like this for more than half an hour, Cui Yan was already somewhat exhausted, his legs were sore, riding was not comfortable, his thighs were rubbed with pain, and his whole body was dizzy due to the long-term shaking, not to mention that Cui Yan was already old , he gradually found it hard to support, but he couldn't just give up like this, he wanted to set an example for Hu'er, and of course, let Hu'er understand the horror of marching in a hurry.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, Cui Yan only felt that his internal organs were about to be shattered, and the two of them arrived at the boundary of Zhongmou. Cui Yan couldn't help slowing down, and Hu'er followed suit, and the two rode their horses and walked slowly. On the avenue, Cui Yan turned pale, suppressing the nausea in his heart, and looked at Hu'er beside him, "Hu'er, how does this rush march feel?"

"Okay! That's great!!", Hu'er raised his head energetically, clenched his right hand into a fist, and cried happily.

Cui Yan was taken aback, looking at the prince in front of him, he didn't look tired at all, he looked extremely excited and excited, Cui Yan's eyes widened blankly, but Hu'er shouted again: "Master? How about riding back to Luoyang?! Hurry up!"

Cui Yan took a deep breath, no, if he rode back to Luoyang like this again, would Hu'er feel tired? He didn't know, but he knew that he would die of exhaustion on the way. He shook his head and turned over. After getting off the horse, he said displeasedly: "Get off the horse now!" Hu'er quickly obeyed and got off the horse too. The two of them held the reins and walked slowly on the road.

Old man Cui decided to use another method to educate the eldest son of the emperor.

"Look around and what do you see?"

Hu'er followed Cui Yan and looked around. On this road, there were farmers carrying loads. Most of them lowered their heads, panting, and walked quickly towards the county town. Most of these people It's the people nearby, and it's not the farming season yet, most of these people also get some gadgets at home, sell them in the county, exchange some money, and buy winter clothes.

There are also quite a few merchants, driving horse-drawn carriages, yawning, most of these people came from far away to do business in Sili, and after traveling for several days, they looked very tired and lack of energy. Of course, there are also scholars who are in a hurry to go out. There are very few idlers. Hu'er looked at everything around him and said: "I saw a lot of people."

"Do you know what Master saw?"

"I don't know."

"I saw a big man."

"Big guy?"

"Yes, this is the big man."

"These farmers, merchants, scholars, and even the road, every plant and tree on the road, are big men. As the emperor, he is responsible for all of this. Do you know? You want to make the burden on those farmers less , you want to make those merchants less tired, you want to make those scholars less anxious, you want to make this kind of avenue more "

Hu'er frowned, looking at what was in front of him, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Hu'er, as a king, it is important to know war affairs, but civil affairs are equally important. Tens of millions of people make up the current Han Dynasty, and they are all the subjects of the king. Every generation of kings has fought against the outside world. It's definitely not to satisfy my vanity, nor to show off my illustrious martial arts, in fact, it's all for these people."

"Xiaowu conquered the Xiongnu because the Huns invaded the people of the Han frontier for a long time and killed the people of the emperor. Xiaokang conquered Xianbei, because Xianbei wanted to attack Youliang, and killed my minister... Xiaoxian conquered Sanhan, because the people of Youzhou often suffered three times. The invasion of Han, Xiaoxian's conquest of Guishuang, because the people of Xizhou are poor and difficult to live, they need foreign trade, and the big Han needs to trade with foreign countries in order to enrich the treasury and feed these people, but the people of Guishuang have cut off our commercial road."

"What about Japan?" Hu'er asked in confusion.

"Because the Wa country has a large number of people, and it produces gold and silver. You said that with these, the life of the big man people will be better?"

Hu'er frowned and asked, "Fight for the people?"

"War is the country, and the country is the people."

Looking at Hu'er who hadn't spoken for a long time, Cui Yan let out a long sigh helplessly. He was probably the most failed Gongyang Emperor's master. The first two tried their best to cultivate the bravery of the emperor. As for himself, It was to downplay the vigor of the prince, but Hu'er probably still listened to his words, along the way, following Cui Yan's explanation, he always looked thoughtful.

"Hu'er, you can't just rely on force to govern a country. As a king, you need wisdom. You need to be able to understand what kind of person can do what kind of things. After a while, I'm going to let you go to the government office Reward the officials of the official government, and by the way, you can also learn how the official government selects talents. In this respect, the kid from the Sun family is better than me," Cui Yan said.

If it is an ordinary prince, of course he can't make friends with ministers without authorization, but Hu'er is different, he is the only child, today's son is only such a child, as the eldest son, and the only son, Hu'er is a sure-fire prince, so Cui Yan didn't have that much fear, and Liu Xi didn't care either. He never cared about these crap things.

Compared with Emperor Xiaoxian, Liu Xi is more tolerant in this respect.

Hu'er nodded, a rare agreement.

The two were walking towards the county town, when a caravan came in front of them. The leader of the caravan was riding a fine horse. Obviously, this was a horse dealer, and there were many colts and mules behind him. Not very good. During this period, due to the increasing popularity of carriages and horses, many common people can own carriages and horses. Of course, the business of horses is also good.

The leader looked and yelled, looked at the old and the young in front of him, and didn't care at all, but after seeing Hu'er's BMW, he was taken aback, turned over suddenly and got off the horse, he was about to approach Hu'er As for my son, Cui Yan stopped him head-on.

The man looked at Cui Yan in embarrassment, smiled, leaned over and bowed, and said, "Forgive me, I just watched this BMW fascinated, and I didn't mean to be abrupt." He said, and looked at the person next to Hu'er again. That BMW, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help asking: "Who owns this horse?"

"It's mine, how do you treat it?" Hu'er shouted loudly.

The merchant smiled, looked at Cui Yan who was beside him, and asked, "Your Excellency, is this your grandson?"

"Exactly."

"Then what is your official position?"

"A white body."

"Bai Shen? Don't be joking, old man. How could Bai Shen have such a powerful body?"

"This is raised by myself."

"Oh?" The merchant slowly raised his head, with a bit of arrogance on his face, and he said playfully, "Maybe I don't know, because the number of horses has increased, temples have already released restrictions on horse trade, but war horses Except, war horses are still not allowed to be sold and raised among the people, which is stipulated by the law, unless they are officials. My husband raises war horses privately, which is probably inappropriate."

"Oh? What do you want?" Cui Yan looked at the merchant in front of him with disdain. When facing the merchant, even a great sage like him would look down on him, and his face was full of disdain.

"Give me this horse, and I'll give the old man one hundred thousand dollars, and I won't sue the officials. What do you think?" The merchant said, Cui Yan and Hu'er came galloping all the way, and they looked like nothing. It is an ordinary wealthy family, but this caused trouble for Cui Yan. Hu'er was about to speak, but Cui Yan said disdainfully, "Selling war horses seems to be a felony?"

"Old man, don't want to toast and refuse to eat", the merchant was furious, and just said.

"Dare to insult my teacher??!!"

At that moment, Hu'er suddenly heard a loud roar, and suddenly jumped forward, stretched out his hand and drew the long sword from Cui Yan's waist, and stabbed at the merchant! ! !

"Fight!!", the long sword plunged into the merchant's heart, Hu'er pulled out the long sword, blood splashed, the merchant covered his heart, looked at the child in front of him in horror, the corner of his mouth continued to overflow with blood, and turned backwards. Then he fell down.

"Murder!!!"

The surroundings screamed suddenly, and the soldiers at the distant city gate rushed towards this place quickly. At this moment, some farmers around dropped their poles, and the merchants rushed out of the carriage. Nearly fifty people of all kinds surrounded Hu'er and Cui Yan, and the two city gate soldiers who rushed over froze in place, not daring to step forward.

One of the rangers with a big beard came forward and looked at them coldly, "The embroidered messenger is here, go and call your county magistrate!"
